The Roar of the 567 EMD 2 stroke Diesel Engine! BEST ENGINE SOUND! more @  

Cheers! 🍻

Seconded, 2 strokes are twice as good as 4 strokes :)

Yes

Agree!

yeah, Rudolf Diesel Day

Rudolf got fucked over bad though by the petroleum industry. He designed the engine to run from peanut oil or derivatives, and as a result got "disappeared" during a trip aboard an ocean liner. Then it was re-engineered to run on distilled petroleum products.

@@LGTheOneFreeMan I suppose he got peanuts for his trouble

@@LGTheOneFreeMan Interesting theory. His death is pretty mysterious.

I agree. Considering here in America you can only hear/see this on a short line or tourist railroad.

@@azrailfan2717 weve got this 50's era ex-state owned stuff running grain etc hundreds of kilometers with operators like SSR in particular. Hell, i work for the major operator here and work trains every day pulled by almost 40 year old EMD's that pretty much havent stopped since they rolled out of the factory im Kelso in 1982... We even still have quite a few old Alco's that are 15-20 years older than that, that are kept for use on branch lines that can't handle the weight of the 81 class. We sure as hell get our moneys worth from these old girls.

Same I remember these gm beasts well pure power in every stroke Melbourne aus love em💪🇦🇺

Agree with that Andrew l love my old fords but I’m big on these old gm beasts real power 💪🇦🇺👍

I wish we had more of this in NSW Hunter Valley instead of the usually modern heavy EMD710s & GE 7FDL16s

Since it’s a 2 stroke her crank runs on tool steel m50nil vin var roller bearing steel cnc machined

Crank is on journal bearings. I've replaced them before.

Stafford Magnus, best comment ever, cheers mate.

Women like to make noise especially when your enjoying a RU-vid video.

Amen to that!!

We often do sleep to them 😴❤️

It wont... SSR spend dollars on getring and keeping these things on the mainline. Its pretty much a gunzel-run railway here. 😂

@@schmoburger6086 +1 to you, good sir, for teaching me the word "gunzel". How I've gotten this far in life without hearing it I have no idea, but that has now been fixed.

Glad it does my friend! It was a random decision to place the camera there and I wasn't sure what I was going to get, but it turned out very well.

Im 54....and still want to do this for a living...but i think i missed my chance.

@@andgate2000 it's not as easy as it looks, and can be tough on the body! Where you from?

I’m still working, but the last of these old EMDs were retired about six years ago and I miss them.

@@brianburns7211 : BSNF

I believe they can tune or modify the engine to eliminate that smoke...

Emd 2 strokes generally don't smoke real hard, alcos however... Well..

Nothing wrong with carbon smoke

@@cardboardboxification nothing wrong but those failed lawyers who populate government always looking for dragons to slay...

I get plain sick over all of the IGNORANT TREE HUGGERS telling me what to say!!😡😡😡, We recycled pop bottles,Tree huggers toss them @Earth day events,We had glass milk jugs,yes quarts,pints,gallons!, Today yes plastic jugs look@ landfill photos😡, We repair televisions,Uhhh the LAST TIME YOU SAW A TV REPAIRMAN ANYPLACE!!??. Waher&Dryers yip we repaired them,Today out the back door they go and Amazon here they come!. Car repair same deal hardly ANY car parts reused or repaired,I know was a mechanic over 30yrs.I'm over 70 and we're ALL TIRED of these young punks accusing our generation of abusing the enviroment!. Why don't you practice what YOU PREACH!?.

Glad you enjoyed it. Can definitely do more, these are easy to make. Set the camera up, record and simple edits.

What a beauty! Thanks!

I dont know if its the same one or another made later, but here in australia there was a cutaway 567 at the rail museum in newport victoria, i cant remember if it was powered or not though, i last saw it in 2008.

Yeah I recall that, but haven't seen it in years.

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER is the museum still open? Last time i went it seemed like the staff were not interested in much, i had plenty of free time on my hands back then, asked if they needed a volunteer whos good with mechanical things, just got a straight up stern no 🤣 so i went home and havent been back

@@Colt45hatchback it is but it's been sad watching everything wither away in the weather..

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER i can imagine, i take it its still delapidated, or probably moreso nowdays i guess. Its unfortunate.

I think that it looks like one of the characters from the Pixar movie, Cars.

Me too. Seeing one round a bend and coming toward you at night with that oscillating headlight has sent chills down my spine many times in the past. We used to walk the railroad while coon hunting in Mississippi when I was in high school. On a crisp clear moon lit winter’s night that locomotive would make the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The sight, sound and smell was somehow terrifying and magic at the same time. Those were the days.

Looking at the front of the first locomotive shown, reminded me of the view Dennis Weaver had in his mirror from the 1971 movie called Duel. If unknown to you, Google it.

@@richardveazey3457 Ahhh.... Memories!

@@mosfet404 One of my favorite movies. That gloved arm out of the old Peterbilt still gives me shivers.

@@mosfet404 You're absolutely right. That old windshield, that sound, is Haunting.Looks like desert dust covering it. Wicked, killer locomotive Beast. Great video.👌

Cheers man!

Cheers!

Go to ncry, they have a bunch of GP9S which clag a lot and a GP7 and some others with a 567 in them

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers! Yes I decided to make use of the microphone, next one I'll strap one on and get just the note. And yes Wagga station and yard still has that real old school nsw rail yard feel. A night shoot with a Tuscan 421 class would be mint, modern but somehow oldschool too

Is this the same line that the gahn runs on? In 2011 I took a trip on the gahn from Alice Springs to Adilade. Quite the trip

It’s quite simple Patrick .... all the modern stuff, sound like turbocharged vacuum cleaners, and for any railway company to meet the new government regulated sound quota, they need to use EMD 2 stroke Diesel engines. The noisier the loco, the quicker the sound quota can be achieved. 😄

This mob tries their best not to hire locos as it eats into profits but sometimes it's the only option

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER I liked the government noise quoter story ........ but if you want to go with a rational explanation, that will work too ...... Lol 😆

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Detroit two stroke power long live the king 💪

Cheers, thanks 🍻🍻🍻 love the GP7's!

I was a diesel mechanic when Detroit 2 strokes were still being used. They were like Harley Davidson Motorcycles, they always marked their spot. lol You had to be careful and not leave the truck in gear when you went home. They could start up by themselves anytime. GMC dealership I worked at, people came to work the next day and one had started up and ran through the parts department wall.

I bet you’re deaf as a beetle lol jokes

Then you might like these EMD's working hard up a grade in Maryborough, Victoria, AUST. Dumping traction sand as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZqqlKP0MAc8.html

It's still running around, it's my favourite S class for that reason! It screams! Got videos of S302 on my RU-vid going into Elphinstone tunnel from the roof.

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER Oooh cool :) I shall have a listen :)

Love that movie. I have it on DVD. 👍🏽

Some GP9s are still in operational switching service in some class 3 railroads, so technically not all is lost

There's a video on the interwebz of a worn-out looking SD7 pushing log cars with a lot of wheelslip

Seen that one!

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER nice!

Cheers! 😊

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER 😎🤙🏻Howdy

Thankyou 😊

Love that smoke
